The Irish Sailing All Ireland Sailing Championships have been running since 1947 and this year marks the 70th anniversary of this unique Irish competition. The aim of the championships is to find the “champion of champions” – pitting all types of sailors against each other in one type of boat.

In 2017, the All Ireland Sailing Championships will be held on 7-8 October in Mullingar Sailing Club, with the Junior All Ireland Sailing Championships taking place in Schull at the Fastnet Outdoor & Marine Education Centre on 30 Sept/1 October.

The nomination process for the All Irelands is complicated, and draws from a variety of different pools including past winners, dinghies and keelboats, as well as ranking orders within affiliated classes. You can find all the details in the Notice of Race HERE, and for the Junior competition HERE.
